Hi Ed,

Thank you for the donation.

Was this problem the reason for the replacement of the TCU and trans assy?
Did you try to retrieve for Diagnostic Trouble Codes?

If the hesitation you mentioned is as if the vehicle is starting from 2nd speed, then you have a problem with the AT temp switch or its wiring. Check if the connectors are properly plugged in and visually inspaect terminals for corrosion, bent pins or broken wires.
